We are still here!!!

We apologize for the minor panic last week. For those who have not heard, Lorem Ipsum, the bookstore that Papercut lives in, is facing some serious financial trouble. Their landlord has extended the time they have to pay their back-rent, however, we are not quite sure what the future holds for the library or this store. Both are incredible resources, and now true staples of Inman Square. We will keep everybody updated as soon as we know more. Until then, please assume Papercut will contnue to be open during our regular hours (Friday-Monday, 2-7pm).

Our zines are currently living inside a temporary space in Allston while we hunt for our dream home.

We will be open Sundays from 2pm to 5pm or, as always, we are happy to open by appointment. Email, call, or text us for the address and directions.

You can also contact us to set up an event, book us for a workshop, or have us curate a pop-up library at your event or classroom!

While in our temporary space, circulation with be on hiatus. If you have zines currently checked out, please bring them home!

About Us

Papercut is a fully-functioning lending library, with a focus on hand-made and independently produced materials. Our collection includes everything from the all-familiar photocopied punk rock zines from the 80's to hand-crafted personal zines bound together with yarn.

Papercut is run by a collective of volunteer librarians. In addition to archiving and maintaining this collection, librarians also host a number of events including zine making workshops and zine release parties.
